Leach moves into top spot in victories at Texas Tech

Tenth-year Texas Tech coach Mike Leach on Saturday won his 83rd football game with the Red Raiders, moving into the top spot in career victories at the school.

In reaching the milestone, Leach guided the Red Raiders to an easy 41-13 decision over the Oklahoma Sooners on a sunny day in Lubbock.

The victory allowed Leach to surpass Spike Dykes, who won 82 games at Tech from 1986-1999.

The Red Raiders (7-4, 4-3 in the Big 12) are now bowl eligible. Possibilities for Tech if it can beat Baylor next week would be either the Holiday Bowl in San Diego or the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.

The defending conference champion Sooners (6-5, 4-3) complete the regular season at home next week against in-state rival Oklahoma State.

OU fans are also faced with a variety of postseason scenarios. If the Sooners win their finale, they could get to the Holiday or the Alamo bowls. If they lose, they might fall to the Sun or Insight bowls.
